Line 19:
** The Tram Nation, period. It's practically a feudal Japanese ''power plant''.
** Oh, and if you command a Warlord to move to a non-adjacent nation, they travel ''by blimp.''
** Some dialog mentions Pokeballs exist outside Ransei. This implies Ransei is actually a more modern world styled after the Sengoku, raising ''even more'' questions.
* [[Badass Mustache]]: Hideyoshi in his upgraded form.
* [[Bag of Spilling]]: Your link level and finances are reset to the default in every post-game episode.
Line 31 ⟶ 32:
* [[Call Back]]: The ice in the Blizzard Nation functions similarly to the Ice Path in ''[[Pokémon Gold and Silver]]''.
* [[Cloudcuckoolander]]: Yoshimoto. For one, [[And You Thought It Was a Game|he doesn't realize losing a battle means losing his castle until one of his retainers informs him.]] He also seems to think he's playing a ball game called "Pokémari" rather than actually battling. He's also quite the [[Adult Child]].
* [[Convection, Schmonvection]]: Non-Fire-type Pokémon, and humans for that matter, are certainly pretty fine with battling in the middle of a volcano, just so long as they don't enter the lava itself. In fact the Fire Nation in its entirety is practically a volcano, it's a wonder how people even live there...
* [[Crossover]]: ''[[Pokémon]]'' meets ''[[Nobunaga's Ambition]]''.
* [[Cute Shotaro Boy]]: Hanbei.
Line 43 ⟶ 44:
* [[Designated Girl Fight]]: Ginchiyo's special episode.
* [[The Dragon]]: Mitsuhide to Nobunaga, though he later becomes [[The Starscream]].
* [[Disc One Nuke]]: While link rating (levels) aren't retained between scenarios, obtained Pokémon ''are'' and unlike the main story where plot battles have fixed power, opponents start at low level (and default Pokémon equipped) and gain power the longer they are left alive. This means most come down to quickly grabbing a warlord with a fully evolved Pokémon and using it to rush the other domains.
* [[Dub Name Change]]: Aside from the Pokémon due to [[Grandfather Clause]], and the title itself, this looks to be the first localized ''Pokémon'' game to largely avert this. The regions will be getting one though.
* [[Elaborate Equals Effective]]: The Warlords get more-impressive outfits as they improve their link with their Pokémon.
Line 79 ⟶ 81:
* [[Lazy Artist]]: The game's advertised 200 Warlords are comprised primarily of a little over three dozen different generic character designs re-used several times each with different names, type preferences, and abilities. Altogether, there's only around 70 unique designs for the generals, or about 107 if you're feeling generous enough to include the evolved designs.
** It's averted to varying degrees with the Pokémon, however. All 211 (''more'' than advertised, curiously) Pokémon have at least one unique portrait, and those associated with special Warlords tend to have more.
* [[Redemption Demotion]]: Avoided in the main game, where enemies join at the same level they were defeated at. Inverted in extra scenarios, where enemy warlords and warriors have their default Pokémon when fought even if they evolved or replaced it in the main campaign and immediately upon recruitment regain their previous power.
** [[Reused Character Design]]: All the human NPC character designs originated in ''[[Samurai Warriors]] 3''.
* [[Lighter and Softer]]: To the ''[[Nobunaga's Ambition]]'' side of the crossover's usual fare, anyway.
Line 85 ⟶ 88:
* [[Magikarp Power]]: The [[Trope Namer]] itself is in the game, but your starter shines almost as notoriously as it. With only one attack, the Eevee you begin with is pretty useless past the first few maps until you evolve it. You're going to have to be very patient if you wanted any of the Eeveelutions other than the first three, though....
** Abra too, as, until it evolves, it's stuck with teleport, which can't damage things at all. (Not ''totally'' useless, you can try using it to seize objectives... if you're feeling lucky.)
** Despite being her perfect link (highest level cap), Oichi's Jigglypuff is not particularly good even after evolution. However Oichi's ''second'' highest options is a long list of Pokémon that start terrible but become incredibly powerful after evolution such as Staraptor, Alakazam, Eevee/its evolutions, and Bisharp. If prepared during the main story, many scenarios devolve into recruiting her as fast as possible to take advantage of their power at low levels.
* [[The Anime of the Game|The Manga Of The Game]]: One that's posted on [http://info.nicovideo.jp/seiga/ranse/ Nico Video] at least every other Friday.
* [[Meaningful Name]]: Ranse means "turbulent times", an apt name for the [[Jidai Geki|Sengoku Period]]-esque world the game is based on.
